The Pacific Roads Commission.

New YORK, September 20.-The com
mission appointed to inquire into Pa
cltic railway matters met in this city
this morning. Governor Pattison pre-
sided. Besides Ellery Anderson and
David Littler, members of the commits
sion, there were also present exJudge
Dillon, counsel for the commission, and
A. a. Cohen, counsel for the Central
aud Southern Pacific Railroad. MIR.
Crocker was the first witness called.
The witness went into detailed &C
count of the technical character as to
the manner in which the road was
built. The books kept consisted of the
ordinary cash books, blotler and
ledgers. He had no idea where these
books are now and didn't think it d
matter material any way, and if any
him it was none of his business. No
information of consequence was
cleaned from the witness regarding
books or contracts. Witness thought
The money question at issue could be
settled best by a conference between
a committee from the board of direct
ors and this commission.
Mr.. Littler asked what was the
ability OF the company to pay its
debt to the government to-day and
received None whatever" as an en-
phatic answer.
Mr.. Croker said the company in
tended to pay some day, but TO do it at
the present would ruin the property.
Il would suggest" remarked Mr.
Crocker, that government, to which
money is just now an object
might give the road, say 100 or $50
years in which to pay its debt"
Later, he said if government had
given the Central Pacific the contracts
promised, the company would have
nearly paid its debt by this time.
Politics." insisted the witness, "are at
the root of all this trouble, and when
the road is out of politics, it will
prosper"
In reply to another question, witness
said there was never a penny in stock,
bond or money offered to any legis
lator 10 secure corrupt influence
Government had saved some $l39 Co.,
900 by the road, yet would not give it
enough patronage to anle it to pay Its
debt, which could easily have been done
and the company had faithfully full
filled all its contracts and he (Crocker)
had asked the board of directors to
introduce bill into Congress claiming
payment in compensation for untitled
contracts made to the company, but
never fulfilled.

An bIIgipg Snake.

It has remained for the London Globe
to tell the champion snake story of the
season, to the disgrace of the entire
Virginia press, and here it is:
Truthful James father was the owner
of very fine and accomplished rattle
snake, of which he tells the following
true story: al remember, +" he says, las
if it were yesterday, how one Monday
morning the clothesline fell into the
fire, and mother felt very provoked at
not having anything to dry her wash
ing on. Well, our old snake went and
stretched himself out between the
boughs of two apple trees where mother
always tied her clothes-line, and she
got along with him first class"

A MISSING WITNESS APPEARS
just in TIne-Dickson to Assist in
the Prosecution of Cation,
CulIen's Slayer.
Before Judge BOreman.

BEAVER, UT, September 20.-[SpecisI
to THE HERALD. In the Second Dis
trict Court this morning, the case Of
David Ward, charged with unlawful
cohabitation, was called for trial.
Prosecutor Zane then announced that
the chief witness-Annie Adams Ward
was not present, and asked that her
bonds of $3.50 be forfeited. The court
ordered deputy marshal to call the
names of the sureties, and there was no
reply. The bonds we're declared for
feited. In consequence of the absence
of this witness, who is alleged to be
Wards plural wife, the case could not
be proceeded with, and it was set aside.
The cases of Norton and Wilkinson
were then about TO be taken up, when
toe missing witness entered the room.
Denny called he courts atten-
ton to the fact, and asked that
the order of forfeiture be re 5ciaded,
which was done. The Jurors VIZ
then examined on their UOjr dire, aud
inteTrogafed at considerable length as
to their belief in the principles of the
Mormon Church.
w. ). j ones, young man VINO mas
been a member OF the Church since his
infancy, said he did not believe in po-
Iygamy, and in but few of the principles
of the church. After he had been ques.
toned at great length, he was asked:
If you were selected as a member of
the jury in a case of this kind, and while
the case was pending before the jury,
you were to receive an order or any
counsel from any of the authorities of
the Mormon Church to find verdict
in certain way, would not you obey
that counsel in any way?
A.-Not much.
Q.-You would not do it?
A.-No, sir.
Notwithstanding the above, Zane
challenged him peremptorily.
After the prosecution challenging
three for cause and two peremptory
challenges, and Denny's one, another
venire was issued for twelve more.
at 2 pm. six of the twelve came into
court and were sworn. The venire not
being returned fully served, The court
adjourned till tomorrow morning.
Dickson is here engaged to aid the
prosecution in the Cation trial.

The Champion Butler.

Probably the largest rattlesnake ever
seen in this section was killed on College
Street yesterday morning. An old
negro man was passing the residence Of
Mr.. G. NJ. Wheatley, when he spied the
trail of the serpent across the sidewalk
right at the front gate. Looking about,
he was Mortified at seeing a monster
rattlesnake lying close up against the
fence. Going to wood pile in the back
yard, he secured a stout pole, with
which he mauled the head of the snake
into jelly after a pretty battle. His
snakeship was nearly seven feet in
length, as large around as mans arm,
and sported twenty-seven rattles. He
was horrible looking spectacle, and is
the largest ever heard of hereabouts.-

An Old RattIesnake.

GRASS VALLEY, Cal, September IA
track walker named William Combs, on
the narrow guage railroad near here,
recently killed rattlesnake near Green
horn bridge, which measured four and
one-half feet in length and had sixteen
rattles. The attention of Combs was
directed to the snake by seeing it sud-
denly rise at the side of the track and
strike a young quail, which fell dead. 1t
seems that the snake had constructed a
den of pine-tops near a quail run and
from the amount of feathers found in
the reptiles lair, he must have been

secure treatment for his wife. She died
last winter. He arrived at the Falls
about month ago, on visit, and ex
pected to return to the east. His health
was broken, and he was ruined 6nan-

although the deceased was so proud
that he would not acknowledge be-
ing hard up, when pressed on
the subject by friends ready aud
anxious to lend him assistance.
Some two weeks ago he took to his
bed, the only trouble seeming to be
lack of vitality. About that time,
imagining that he could not recover, he
made an unsuccessful attempt to take
his own life by the administration of
large dose of morphine. He was dis
covered in time, and his life saved, only
to die by his own hand to-day. He
